What purpose does a non-profit serve?
Societies may be set up for a wide range of purposes, such as daycare, recreation or arts, sports, and social clubs. A non-profit’s purpose cannot be to make money, but the non-profit can operate a business to support its purposes. For example, a seniors’ network might operate a thrift shop (a business), but all the proceeds go toward providing services and programming for seniors (the non-profit’s purpose).
